Análisis de los insecticidas organofosforados y su mecanismo de acción en los sembríos

Regarding the development of the case study, the need to analyze organophosphate insecticides in the agricultural sector in Ecuador arises. Regarding the general objective that has been raised in this study, it is based on analyzing organophosphate insecticides and their mechanism of action in crops. It is important to indicate that "organophosphorus" pesticides belong to a category of chemical products widely used in agriculture, being their chemical composition based on phosphate. These compounds play a crucial role by directly affecting the nervous system of insects present in cultivation areas, which classifies them as neurotoxic insecticides due to their mode of action. The execution of this study is justified because it allows us to understand the importance of these chemical products, as well as the mechanism of action they have in terms of agriculture, which is crucial to be able to control the advance of pests. Regarding the methodology of this study, the type of research carried out is based on a bibliographic and documentary study, where descriptions of the characteristics of the phenomenon analyzed are described. Based on the results, they reveal a series of significant findings where it has been confirmed that organophosphorus insecticides exert an action through a process of inhibition of the enzyme "acetylcholinesterase" that affects the nervous system of the insect group. In conclusion, it has been possible to determine the importance of organophosphate insecticides in crops, where the results show that these insecticides can play an important role in protecting crops against pests.

En cuanto al desarrollo de estudio de caso surge en la necesidad de analizar los insecticidas organofosforados en el sector agropecuario en el Ecuador. En cuanto al objetivo general que se ha planteado en este estudio se basa en analizar los insecticidas organofosforados y su mecanismo de acción en sembríos. Es importante indicar que los plaguicidas "organofosforados" pertenecen a una categoría de productos químicos ampliamente empleados en la agricultura, siendo su composición química basada en fosfato. Estos compuestos desempeñan un papel crucial al afectar directamente el sistema nervioso de los insectos presentes en las áreas de cultivo, lo que los clasifica como insecticidas neurotóxicos debido a su modo de acción. La ejecución de este estudio se justifica porque permite comprender la importancia de estos productos químicos, así como el mecanismo de acción que tienen en cuanto a la agricultura es crucial para poder controlar el avance de plagas. En cuanto a la metodología de este estudio, el tipo de investigación realizada se basa en un estudio bibliográfico y documental, donde se realizaron descripciones de las características del fenómeno analizado. En base a los resultados, revelan una serie de hallazgos significativos donde se ha confirmado que los insecticidas organofosforados ejercen una acción mediante un proceso de inhibición de la enzima “acetilcolinesterasa” que afecta al sistema nervioso del grupo de los insectos. En conclusión, se ha logrado determinar la importancia de los insecticidas organofosforados en los sembríos, donde los resultados demuestran que estos insecticidas logran desempeñar un rol importante en cuanto a la protección de los sembríos contra las plagas.
